MSI 970 Gaming? If so, it has a good VRM and should do well. But with water cooling you may need to add a supplimentary fan to cool the VRM and chipset.


This is one of my favorite Bulldozer/Piledriver OC guides:

I wouldn't go crazy with overclocks on that board. I'd recommend staying under 1.4v to maximize life span. MSI haven't been the most spectacular for AMD recently, and with a 6+2 phase, isn't optimal for the 8350.
